|f I I Whole Leg a Swollen iass of Inflammation—Bedridden for Months —Hospital and Every Des- | I cription of Treatment Fails—Despaired of Being Cured, 8 1 A Triumph of Perfect Zam»Biik H 6^^^^^^^^^^^^^^! $! A S a triumph of sldn-heaiing and disease-dispelling, the victory of Zam-Buk i^^^§^o&k M ri. in the case of Mrs. S. Clifford, of 67 Gold St., Coilingwood, Melbourne, vssPl«P*£si || without parallel. Tfais lady says:-" While going upstairs soiEe four years ■fej ago I slipped and scraped tlie skin off one of my legs, and this mishap, though so simple in itself, ill was the cause of my undergoing the pangs of pain to an almost suicidal degree, as well as seriously >§f^??lß<§p ISi endangering my life. I neglccled to give the wound any special attention, and simply hound it up, __ "^ft^'^jir ?I ; | thinking it would be all right; but instead of getting better, the leg gradually grew -worse, and at ~^i^A&-Wo}^ rr 0^^ > ' r^MtOM the end of three mouths it had developed alarming symptoms. Inflammation set in, and my leg -55*=% NSjS&ljr Q began to swell right up to the hip. The wound discharged, and presented the appearance of a W£yk &3SS§sl^rW& Jj/j running ulcer, the pain being almost unbearable. I thought blood-poisoning bad set in. )szy **"" * ke~j it "The climax came one night, when my leg got so bad and presented such serious indications that I madeWM I 4'Me $£ up my mind to go into the hospital the next morning. I did so, and there I was a patient, undergoing Vg . II VIW vM continuous treatment, for eighteen months. The doctors scraped the bone in the leg, and the agony after- \\2ZZi/y%2. 11 fih wards was indescribable. I could get no sleep ; in fact, I got very little rest during the whole time my leg V \ K^^/? < J522%y \j $f\ was bad. I fell away in flesh, and became the very shadow of my former self. _ _ \A sa, W Wt, "In the hospital the doctors applied hot fomentations, ointments, and all manner and descriptions of \ ~*o% B fe treatment they could think of to draw out the inflammation and reduce the fearful swelling; but their efforts \ / W. were in vain and powerless to do any good. At last my leg got so bad through the continual application of \ ' ■^"/l S$ the different treatments to the parts'lliat I had to become a resident in the hospital, where the doctors applied (\ >%y\ wij hot fomentations to the wound every hour incessantly for two days. _ ({ \ . -$%4l\ ■}$ " Then the doctors resolved to graft some skin over the wound. They did so, but the'graft' remained on \\ "\ '¥?■ only two or three days,, when it came away, and a fresh wound broke out and formed an outlet near the ankle- *>K ~\ ■-z^^vz&W jM bone, and increased ten-fold my already overflowing cup of misery. The doctors next grafted more new ?l:in V"V*V % on both wounds, which this time appeared to 'Like,' but the'pain became even more intense through the " !j$ ' graft' not allowing the vile pus and matter in the wounds to discharge, which was thus retained in the leg. JC^^T^S^i^iS^<&P*sk, $3j "1 was an inmate of the hospital for a month. I then left that institution for home, and thankful I was j?, Fssf^l '& to do so. All the joys and prospects of life had completely vanished from me, and I fully made up my mind f*** >: 7*"*=**ss»^ej««—fe&r/<sa_, v&tMgi M that I would never get better. I was in the depths of the direst despair when my mother happened to be M ™- Clifford after her wonderful cure of ran- p| l $ talking to a neighbour about me one day, and telling her how I was suffering. "She immediately asked inng wounds by Zam-Bnk. i|jf «r mother if I had tried Zam-Buk. She said Zam-Buk was a sterling remedy, and so great was her faith in it ' Bp m that she strongly advised mother to get a supply, and let me try it on my leg. So mother followed her kindly advice, and proenred a pot of Zam-Buk. I rf m applied a dressing, and then experienced the first moment of happiness 1 had had for two years, for under the wonderful influence of Zam-Buk the pain ceased W. f M almost iinm6diately, the inflammation and swelling subsided, and I could actually fee! the soothing powers of Zam-Buk at work. With a joyful heart I con§3 tinuerl with the treatment of Zam-Buk, and applied a dressing every two or three hours, each application bringing additional relief. After a week of this Sj r js treatment the -wound on the ankle had healed completely. With the' larger and more obstinate wound I kept on nnd persevered with Zam-Buk, and at the end i|| Ss-of six week? it had completed its miraculous work, and the wound was healed right up with clean, new, healthy skin. Now my leg is as sound as ever it was." jiftj $$Ti ■~** j: *'\i>! i , if '* >* i"\s Di \*tT* " "TJ It behoves everyone to iahe a lesson from the case of M ij ~ "s fl C a-* 1 - 'J / >«J M fs - Clifford and not neglect the smallest sore or slightest sign of skin- gs§ WtLdT*7 ft fffe Vs n tS disease, but avert all danger and risk of serious trouble by promptly ap- gs, iWFW /vLJ 1% B If V~v"% r>V » N n Plying Zam-Bul«.
